I'm not afraid of failure: Sushant Singh Rajput

Sushant Singh Rajput
Who's not allured by the glitz and glam of the big screen? A transition from television to films is what most actors look for in today's time. And Sushant Singh Rajput is no different!
In looking forward to exploring greener pastures Sushant is much aware of the risks involved in taking a big leap from TV to films. A confident Sushant says, "I have worked for four years in theatre, two years in TV and now at 26, I am doing my first film. I think it is just the medium that changes as an actor. You remain the same, you either work from your heart or you don't," says Sushant adding, "Just doing good work matters to me. I might be doing TV or theatre, movies, for that matter open a canteen in a film city, or work on my short films. I don't have the fear of failure."
Sushant, who left stardom and the hefty paycheck that TV gave him, says, "I left college when I was a topper. I got sponsorship from the government to study, but I did what my heart said, moved to Mumbai and lived with nine guys in a room. I like to put in efforts only where my heart lies. I had never planned my life - I never knew I would be able to buy my own house, car and have a good bank balance," says this Delhite.
On a lighter mode, the actor says, "I just want to learn in life. Once I succeed in whatever I am doing, I switch to something else. I am in the process of making myself a Ferrari - I want drivers to drive at 300 kms/hr!."
Revving up with a different look with a new hairstyle and six packs, he says, "I just got the six packs by chance. My film's character does not belong to a rich family, and so I had to look lean. I maintain my physique by playing three hours of cricket in the morning. I do cardio and functional exercise for one and a half hour. I eat eight meals in a day, but I maintain a strict diet - I eat boiled food with no salt and oil."
Quiz him whether he too thinks that the general assumption in B-Town that TV actors are over exposed to the viewer really affects their chances in films and says, "I am lucky - my timing was correct. I was a highly paid actor, and it takes lots of guts to say no to that kind of money. After I left Pavitra Rishta, I said 'no' to nine films but it wasn't easy. My character Manav worked in a positive way for me and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4 was one step up for me as it completely changed my image."
Talking about his film, Kai Po Che, Sushant says, "It took me only 40 minutes to say yes to this film. I was excited when I got to know that I would be working with Abhishek Kapoor whose vision and energy are inspiring."
He is in Ahmedabad since almost a month and he loves the street food available here. "Although it's very hot here, I occasionally enjoy gorging on aam ras and pani puri here," he smiles.
Sushant's love for short films is profound. The actor has recently "completed writing one - Incredible Decibels. I am working on two other concepts - an abstract love story called Subway and an untitled thriller story based on Stephen King."
Talk to him about his love, Ankita (Lokhande) and Sushant smiles, "Ankita is my support and strength. I would have never imagined working in Pavitra Rishta without her, and the way she is continuing the show with same love is remarkable."
